Finding a safe place to dispose of old computers is becoming a common task. Placing them in a landfill means a missed opportunity to provide a way to bridge the digital divide.
In the Cleveland, Ohio area there are two places that will help you with this problem.
Computers Assisting People (CAP). Completely volunteer run, this organization
takes in old computers, removes data in a manner compliant with the Department
of Defense standards, refurbishes them and donates them to organizations (schools,
churches, community centers, etc.) that deal with children, seniors, the poor,
the disabled and others that can really be empowered by computer technology.
The address is 3150 Payne Ave., Cleveland, OH 44114. Phone: (216) 781-8227

The Cuyahoga County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities
will also accept old computers. They too, remove any data on the hard drives,
and refurbish the computers through their Comptuers Helping Inspire People (CHIP)
program and donate to needy groups. Located at 1275 Lakeside Ave., East, Cleveland,
OH 44114-1132. Call 216-260-2062 or 216-344-1731 for more infomation.
